| Pseudoscops clamator (Vieillot, 1807) |
The Striped Owl, Asio clamator is a medium-sized owl with large ear tufts and a brownish-white facial disk rimmed with black. Its bill is black, and it has cinnamon-colored eyes. It has shorter, rounder wings than most of its close relatives. The upperparts are cinnamon with fine black vermiculation and heavy stripes. The underparts are pale tawny with dusky streaks.
It uses a variety of habitats, including riparian woodlands, marshes, savannahs, grassy open areas, and tropical rainforests. It can be found from sea level to 1600 meters above.
It lives in South America, and part of Central America.
